$892,987.07 - is the latest total for spending by the NC Association of Realtors in the quixotic attempt to defeat local revenue options for local governments. In a lobbying report received today, at the Secretary of State's Office, the NC Realtors reported spending $74,213.26 in the month of August. In addition to the usual retainers to Campaign Connections and Public Solutions about 25% of the spending was for newspaper ads, another 25% for radio/TV spots while a combined $10,095 was spent on polling and phone-calls.
The NC Realtors are so concerned about the North Carolina economy they decided to go to South Carolina for their annual convention in Myrtle Beach. They'll be there for the next few days so don't worry if they're not picking up the phone fast enough. They have to down the margaritas first.
